    sorry overwatch crash and it ended my strea5m it will be live back on very soon "]

  • UnkindledQueen Queenie (@UnkindledQueen) reported

    Speaking as a Moira main; Moira is incredibly broken as a DPS. I barely have to do anything to take gold in Elims and the DPS yells at you anyway. :T #Overwatch

  • ThatZemZem ZemZemoo (@ThatZemZem) reported

    Reasons why i do wanna back to overwatch and why i don't want: I don't wanna back because: - QP too boring - Comp is broken - Bugs , noreg - Unbalanced - Nothing new like 3 years already - Smurfs - Smurfs - SMURFS - BORING - ping - Cross-platform (At least able to disable

  • Lomelismael ❛ᝰ 𝖨𝖲𝖬𝖠 ┋ 🫐 (@Lomelismael) reported

    @vice_rees Which could suggest that. And once joining ow she collected her own opinions on the organization once it grew into a cesspool of problems and allegations. When Overwatch split she went into hiding and is now in hiding with Baptiste I believe? After Sombra gave him her location +

  • JustinVoxPopuli Justin Jones (@JustinVoxPopuli) reported

    @Bungie love that I get hit with a warning on my.connection issues when it was solely on your end with your crappy servers. And yes uts your being that I play overwatch and cod and division with no connection issues at all

  • ReinMain5 ReinMain (@ReinMain5) reported

    I don't know what the hell the devs have done to the PoTG system, but they as well take it out. It's been broken for over a year now. I would say it's a joke but jokes are funny. What you guys are doing to OW1 is anything but a fking joke #Overwatch #OW

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @ZenoKagemaru @NexusWake @PlayOverwatch I've played Overwatch on the Switch before and I don't really think frame rates will be the biggest issue I can still play well on Apex Legends against PC players despite it running at 30 FPS.

  • Talanar1 Talanar (@Talanar1) reported

    @showerwhoops I didn't ! But it's becouse I wasn't into Overwatch yet when it premiered. The plus side is I got it at sale. Keep reading it currently, even if it's about socialising problems of 12-year-old at this moment. Fortunately Doomfist struck and something's going on.

  • catmilk_arte mona. (@catmilk_arte) reported

    Overwatch is just a ****** game. Seriously, even second game I have a Widow in the enemy team, level 26 or 27, hitting every shot. This company doesn't do anything against the smurfing problem, I just want to delete this game.

  • wips4days Susless World (@wips4days) reported

    i realize overwatch has a lot of issues but damn. hearing Rein say "i am your shield" for like. a year before being shown that's the last word his best friend and mentor ever said to him? ****** me up, man

  • zombiebriank ZombieBrian (@zombiebriank) reported

    @_Angelic_Devil Jeff was able to keep the Activision suits away from overwatch. Him leaving possibly means he lost that control. Overwatch had user numbers most live service games could dream of but in terms of revinue it makes very little. Who tf is buying lootboxes?

  • qCuhmber liam (@qCuhmber) reported

    @ClawdiaFox @ValorantUpdated not if it’s capped, i think as long as it stays stuck at 500 then no issue. in overwatch when your teammate was level 2000 and stuck in gold you kinda expected them to be awful if they’re still stuck in that elo

  • Forbidden_MAGE Forbidden_MAGE (@Forbidden_MAGE) reported

    overwatch pls fix your system my power flicked came back on i rejoin and we still won but i get a 10 minute ban and minus 50 sr thats bs @PlayOverwatch

  • magicaltoilet69 geidara (@magicaltoilet69) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I seen it on r6. I don’t mind it, only problem is that I usually play the same maps over and over again. Overwatch has more maps though so it might not be that bad of an issue.

  • Obrodo Obrodo (@Obrodo) reported

    Okay I lied. I won't be on early because I'm still up. I fixed her PC. Turns out, Overwatch was HELLA corrupted and kept causing a huge kernal 41 error and kept crashing her pc. A reinstall hopefully fixes it

  • MissVoidAngel VoidMademoiselle🌈 (@MissVoidAngel) reported

    Alright, I'm finna sleep. My schedule is already out there somewhere, maybe I'll fix it soon. Anyway, GG. I'll try getting better on OW tomorrow too. #Overwatch

  • ImZigalo Zigalo 🌸 (@ImZigalo) reported

    Honestly, when is Ubi gonna implement an Overwatch system for their Match Replays to speed up banning cheaters, or better yet, fix their MMR Rollback? I'm facing a blatant waller saying "it's lose-lose for you pal", and I'm sure they won't be banned for probably a month+ :/

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @ZenoKagemaru @NexusWake @PlayOverwatch Okay regarding that issue that is a Microsoft and Sony issue not Blizzard. Many games have suffer through this not just Overwatch.

  • JupiterXrin Saturn🪐 (@JupiterXrin) reported

    Sorry for such random streams. My son's PC us having PSU problems and we are working with a friend to try and get it fixed. So sadly no decent Overwatch and Ark streams until the problem is solved. Which means less $$ for me so huge rip.

  • viollous Viollous (@viollous) reported

    Idk 95% of the people I follow I just see overwatch tweets from them and go :o so please shut ******** up and unfollow me if u have a problem about who I FOLLOW. My dms are dry as hell unless you wanna get at me for talking to kingcman like im begging u please come at me

  • eliter3k claire (@eliter3k) reported

    @christinecocoab i think it's a problem in all esports tbh because asian countries have always been into games ,, but it's so bad in val. I noticed it in overwatch too/can speak from personal experience unfortunately 😔

  • FireCarterOW FireCarter (@FireCarterOW) reported

    My favorite Overwatch staple is random internet lag making me lose 50 SR because I can't even close and reload the game in under 2 minutes. At least this time it was a game that was unwinnable with a Rein who thought I was throwing because I didn't follow in on his funny charge.

  • reyjustinedomo Justine (@reyjustinedomo) reported

    i want to play a new hero shooter aside from overwatch is paladins still good in 2021? apex legends? i would go back to playing valorant but i always get ping and rubberbanding issues when i play which i don't get in ow. also the games are too long and time to kill too short

  • NocturnusArt Astronoctus (@NocturnusArt) reported

    I hope it's just a glitch with that ridiculous censorship of words like "passive" because it contains *** in it. Otherwise, whoever was so briliant at Blizzard to turn OW to PEG-3 is a moron who deserves full disrespect and nothing more. #overwatch #how2killagamelikeanidiot101

  • gamer1nQ8 Organic Labaneh (@gamer1nQ8) reported

    Overwatch is still awful... mcree and ana still broken... until they fix those two heroes it’s just going to be a bad experience

  • diego_lapina Diego Piña (@diego_lapina) reported

    @TeriosGaming i know that people say content but they forget that even when there was content the game was in losing players, the major problem with overwatch is that is the best teamwork game with little reason to actually play as a team( no in game tournament, no full team rank, no clans)

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @MintyNut @TheSmolBean420 @PlayOverwatch Which the Overwatch devs are fully aware of this but there isn’t much they can do about it. This is more of a Microsoft and Sony issue.

  • TriadWarfare TriadWarfare (@TriadWarfare) reported

    @PlayApex Yes please. And don't worry, I won't demand to fix the game first, because new content should always come first. Don't want this game to become like Overwatch.

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Many Tetris games are dated but most of them would be long if they had a time manipulation device, doggo, and Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle

  • chrysseisx ame (@chrysseisx) reported
